Season Coloring Pages
Season coloring pages follow the year through spring, summer, fall and winter, with snowmen and scarecrows too. Toddlers do well with a single snowman or sunshine, while older kids can color full seasonal scenes with trees, weather and outdoor play.

Seasons are an easy science topic to start with a coloring page. Spring brings flowers and baby animals, summer means long sunny days, fall turns leaves red and orange, and winter brings snow in many places. Ask what kids notice outside right now and match the page to it. Coloring the same tree in all four seasons is a simple way to show how one place changes over a year.
Seasons each have a color palette. Spring uses soft pinks and light greens, summer bright blues and yellows, fall warm reds, oranges and browns, and winter white, gray and pale blue.
Fun facts to share while you color
- We have seasons because Earth is tilted as it travels around the Sun.
- When it is summer in North America, it is winter in Australia.
- Leaves change color in fall when trees stop making the green coloring called chlorophyll.
- Snowflakes usually have six sides or six points.
Ways to use these season pages
- Color the same type of tree for each season and line the four pages up to show the year.
- Sort pictures of clothing, weather and activities into the season where they belong.
- Color a scarecrow and stuff a paper version with shredded paper for a fall display.
- Hang a seasonal page on the fridge and swap it whenever the season changes outside.
Questions parents and teachers ask
Why do we have four seasons?
Earth is tilted, so as it travels around the Sun, different parts get more or less direct sunlight. That causes the warm and cold seasons.
How can I teach seasons to preschoolers with coloring pages?
Pick one clear symbol for each season, such as a flower, a sun, a leaf and a snowman. Talk about the weather and clothes for each as your child colors.
